Hormonal and Renal Responses to Hyperbaria

  • Chapter
Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes

Abstract

With the advent of a new diving technique “the saturation dive” about three decades ago, human divers are now able to engage in a multi-day dive to a considerable depth. In a dry simulation (chamber) dive carried out at Duke University in 1981, several divers exposed themselves to a depth of 686 m (nearly 70 atmospheres absolute or ATA) for 24 h and then safely returned to sea level. Apparently, human divers seem to be able to cope with such high pressures and can maintain normal activities albeit on a somewhat limited basis.
